Toward a Moral Consensus Against Torture

INTER-FAITH CONFERENCE SEEKS TO BUILD MORAL CONSENSUS AGAINST TORTURE

Speakers in religion and human rights will discuss the use of torture in the U.S. and abroad and prepare participants for anti-torture advocacy within their own communities.
Sponsors: National Religious Campaign Against Torture (NRCAT), the Duke Human Rights Center, and the North Carolina Council of Churches. Duke Divinity School and First Presbyterian Church in Durham, March 25-26, 2011.
“This is not an academic debate but part of a national effort toward a moral consensus: torture is always wrong; torture does not make ‘us’ safer; and we need concrete tactics to refuse the climate of fear and compliance,” says Amy Laura Hall, conference coordinator and associate professor of Christian ethics at the Divinity School.

Pat Robertson has to be the devil's disciple besides being a total moron!

Submitted by flintstreetinns on Thu, 01/14/2010 - 11:59pm

What has this country come to when a brain dead, bible thumping racist like Pat Robertson can still be quoted by the national news media as a voice of interest concerning the Haitian earthquake?

In case you are not sure of the definition of the word "moron" it is a person who is notably stupid or lacking in good judgment. Sound like anyone you know?

Who are you people that continue to support The 700 Club? Where is your human compassion? Why are you not storming the doors of this malignant preacher's office to demand your money back. The man cannot possibly have a connection to anything remotely Christian or good!

Why would you continue to associate with this idiot, this self-inflating windbag of ignorance and hate?

Drop a line if you have a thought.

Jerry Falwell Dead (4 cartoons!!!)

When I heard the news, my head exploded with strip ideas. I couldn't decide which to do so I put them in a short series.

One of the most hateful men in America is now dead. What are politicians saying?

Dr. Falwell was a man of distinguished accomplishment who devoted his life to serving his faith and country." Sen. John McCain

How did he serve? Teaching hate and intolerance to Americans under the guise of "religion."

"An American who built and led a movement based on strong principles and strong faith has left us." Mitt Romney

We all have great respect for him." Rudy Giuliani.

Uh, Rudy, some of us don't. Do you also respect Pol Pot? David Duke? Fred Phelps maybe?

Falwell will only be missed by the worst of us and you must be one of them.

To see the all four strips in the series hit the flip.
